Academics 

SEE YOUR 

VISION THROUGH. 

As one of the world’s leading technological institutions, RIT is a vibrant, connected community 

that is home to diverse, ambitious, and creative students from more than 100 countries. 

It offers transfer students an incredible array of academic programs; a diverse, committed, and 

accessible faculty; sophisticated facilities; and an unusual emphasis on experiential learning. 

Innovative specialized programs 

Few universities provide RIT’s variety of careeroriented 

studies. RIT’s unmatched array of 

academic programs attracts designers, artists, 

photographers, and filmmakers on the one 

hand, and scientists, engineers, computing 

scientists, and entrepreneurs on the other. 

When these “left-brain and right-brain” students 

engage with RIT’s outstanding faculty, a learning 

environment is created where innovation 

and creativity flourish. 

Experience counts 

Since 1912, the hallmark of an RIT education 

has been experiential learning. RIT was 

among the first universities in the world to 

offer cooperative education. Last year, more 

than 3,500 co-op students alternated periods 

of study on campus with paid employment 

in nearly 2,000 firms across the United States 

and overseas. Today, experiential learning also 

includes internships, study abroad, and undergraduate 

research. 

Engaging faculty 

Excelling in research and excelling in teaching, 

our faculty are passionate about their disciplines 

and their role in both the lab and the 

classroom. They are innovative and resourceful. 

They engage students in the process of discovery 

and the contribution of new knowledge to 

their fields. 

Outstanding facilities 

Our strong reputation for state-of-the-art 

academic facilities is rightly earned. RIT has 

invested more than $500 million in the renovation 

and construction of new academic and 

student life facilities over the past few years to 

accomplish a remarkable transformation. You’ll 

find outstanding facilities and equipment in 

every area of campus, and our commitment to 

student success ensures that these facilities are 

accessible when you need them. 

Global, vibrant community 

RIT attracts students from every state and over 

2,000 international students from more than 

100 countries. Embodying our commitment 

to diversity, more than 2,700 students of color 

have elected to study at RIT. Adding a social 

and educational dynamic not found at any 

other university are more than 1,300 deaf and 

hard-of-hearing students supported by RIT’s 

National Technical Institute for the Deaf.

Diverse, Active, Committed Faculty 

UP YOUR GAME 

WITH OUR DOWN- 

TO-EARTH EXPERTS. 

Enthusiasm and commitment to teaching are undeniable characteristics of RIT’s faculty. 

From graphic artists and engineers to scientists and management specialists, they will 

spark your curiosity, challenge you to grow, and inspire you to achieve your dreams. 

Teaching comes first 

This is a place where faculty enjoy interacting 

with students—not only in class or during 

office hours but in the dining halls, in the 

coffee shop at the library, or at the Student 

Life Center. It’s a friendly but challenging 

environment, and our faculty’s approach 

to teaching makes it so. 

Our faculty have extensive experience in 

the classroom and their professional fields. 

Their real-life experiences and their involvement 

in applied research and consulting 

means that their teaching is well informed 

and up to date. They’ll talk with you about 

career choices and graduate school. Our 

professors think about your future almost 

as much as you do, and they are committed 

to your success.

Beyond the classroom 

While their primary emphasis is on teaching, 

faculty members also are active in business, 

industry, publishing, and research, bringing 

RIT worldwide recognition and inspiring 

exciting learning opportunities. Here are a few 

examples of our outstanding faculty, including 

some who have won the prestigious Eisenhart 

Award for Outstanding Teaching: 

Willie Osterman, 

professor of photography 

in the School of 

Photographic Arts and 

Sciences, used his Fulbright 

award to assist the 

University of Zagreb in developing curricula 

for the first degree in photography created at 

a Croatian university. “The experience was an 

excellent supplement to my teaching at RIT,” 

says Osterman. 

Sandra Rothenberg, 

an associate professor 

of management and a 

Zutes Faculty Fellow, is 

conducting a study of 

environmental activists 

who changed careers to work in industry. 

Much of her interest focuses on corporate 

environmental strategy and management as 

well as environmental activism within companies. 

In addition to researching environmental 

management, she heads the Joan Rothenberg 

Family Foundation, which supports organizations 

that promote environmental protection. 

Manuela Campanelli, 

professor in the School of 

Mathematical Sciences, 

was part of a team that 

put none other than 

Albert Einstein to the 

test. Campanelli and her team simulated the 

merger of two black holes and solved the 

interrelated equations that were the basis 

of Einstein’s theory of general relativity for 

strong field gravity. 

Her current teaching and research 

interests focus on the development of social 

computing, including blogs, wikis, and realtime 

chat environments. 

Keith Jenkins, 2010 

Eisenhart Award winner 

and associate professor 

of communication in the 

College of Liberal Arts, 

says, “I want students to 

believe that they can follow their passions and 

be successful, while also instilling the idea that 

thoughtful and committed people can change 

the world.” 

Jenkins has focused on engaging students 

in the classroom, through experiential learning 

opportunities and through his research work, 

which includes a study of the impact of race 

on rhetoric and an analysis of the public 

speeches of President Barack Obama. 

At RIT, faculty like these are accessible, teaching 

undergraduate classes and engaging students in 

their projects and research.

Cooperative Education and Experiential Learning 

GOLD-PLATED CAREERS. 

FORGED FROM ORANGE 

AND BROWN. 

Students learn best by doing. RIT’s academic programs feature distinct and diverse opportunities 

to apply classroom education to real-world problems and projects. Transfer students at RIT cite these 

opportunities and our extensive employer and graduate school partnerships as important factors for 

selecting RIT. 

Experience that 

makes a difference 

At RIT, cutting-edge academic programs, 

outstanding faculty, and first-rate classroom 

and laboratory facilities provide you with a 

great educational experience. But today’s

real. It must be relevant. It must be tested 

in real-world settings and on real-world 

problems before you graduate. Experiential 

education allows you to do that—and more. 

Internships 

Many academic programs offer students the 

opportunity to gain career-related work experience 

through internships. Other academic 

programs offer internship opportunities in

Finest Facilities 

WE’VE BUILT OUR 

WHOLE WORLD AROUND 

YOUR AMBITIONS. 

RIT’s transfer students have unmatched opportunities for hands-on learning, utilizing some of 

the most sophisticated classroom, laboratory, and studio equipment available anywhere. 

State-of-the-art campus 

At RIT, we understand how technology 

enhances creativity and innovation. Our 

campus has the latest equipment, software, 

studios, laboratories, and conveniences—the 

tools you need to explore and excel. We help 

you utilize the latest technology and understand 

its impact on the world. 

RIT is “wired” 

There’s no question that we have a sophisticated, 

high-tech campus. The Princeton Review 

consistently ranks RIT among the most 

connected campuses in the country. Whether 

you’re in the classrooms, labs, residence halls, 

or public areas, we provide free, direct, 

high-speed computing access that is hard 

to beat. 

A welcoming, 

sustainable environment 

RIT is much more than its high-quality 

academic facilities; it offers many welcoming 

spaces on campus. You’ll find vibrant locations 

for social and intellectual activity just about 

everywhere you look. The physical beauty 

of the campus comes from an interplay of 

natural and park-like settings with modern 

buildings, architectural features, and artwork 

prominently on display. Comfortable spaces 

offer places to relax or work on projects and 

team assignments. 

In addition, our community of more than 

20,000 students, faculty, and staff has made a 

commitment to advance sustainability in all 

areas—in academic programs and research 

initiatives, in our campus operations and consumption 

practices, and in efforts to 

promote social sustainability within the 

RIT family. By making the campus more 

environmentally friendly and by engaging 

in and learning more about sustainable 

practices, we can take steps now to ensure 

that the campus, the Rochester area, and the 

greater world in which we live will be cleaner, 

healthier, and more livable tomorrow than 

they are today. 

In short, you’ll find that our commitment to 

student success and sustainability is captured 

throughout the campus’s outstanding 

academic and community facilities.

Globally Recognized 

WHEN YOU REMAKE 

THE WORLD, THE WORLD 

TENDS TO NOTICE. 

Don’t just take our word for it. Our reputation as one of the world’s top universities has been 

acknowledged by many leading college guides, industry, and internationally respected publications. 

As you search for the right place to transfer, consider what others have to say about RIT. 

“Uniting creativity and 

innovation, RIT is the place 

where the ‘technical left and 

artistic right brains’ collide.” 

—The Princeton Review 

“RIT is an extremely challenging school that 

offers career-minded students a very great 

background in a wide variety of technical 

fields. Students feel their practical degrees 

and on-the-job experiences will serve 

them well in today’s tough job market.” 

—The Insider’s Guide to Colleges 

At both the graduate and undergraduate 

levels, RIT was ranked among the Top 10 

Schools for Video Game Design Study in 

the 2011 Princeton Review/GamePro Media 

second annual rankings. 

“This is a fast-paced, high-tech school for 

go-getters who already know where they 

want to be. After a rigorous education, more 

than 90 percent of RIT graduates go into the 

job market, with a significant boost from the 

school’s cooperative education program.” 

—Fiske Guide to Colleges 

The National Science Foundation 

has recognized our College of Science as a 

national site for undergraduate research.

TECHNOLOGY 

Educating the next generation of health care providers is a formidable task, given the 

enormous potential for technology to aid the health care industry. The College of Health Sciences 

and Technology is up to the challenge, providing you with the skills you will need to manage and 

lead in the important and growing convergence of medicine and technology. 

The College of Health Sciences and Technology 

responds to the growing need for well-educated 

professionals in the health care field. Programs 

center on patient care, innovation in the 

advancement of clinical practices, and cuttingedge 

research that will guide the changing 

health care delivery system. 

Interdisciplinary 

approach to learning 

Through its four majors, the college provides 

a focused, interdisciplinary approach to health 

care education. Clinically related and researchbased 

programs meet both the present and 

future needs of the health care system. 

Innovative partnership 

Through the university’s partnership with the 

Rochester General Health System (RIT-RGHS 

Alliance), students gain advanced knowledge 

in the theoretical 

science and practical 

application of 

experiential learning 

environments. These 

experiences prepare 

students to serve as practition ers, scientists, 

and leaders through their contribution to, 

and provision of, high-quality patient care, 

health care service, and/or applied biomedical 

research. 

The College of Health Sciences and 

Technology is part of the larger Institute of 

Health Sciences and Technology. In addition 

to the college, the institute includes the 

Health Sciences Research Center and the 

Health Sciences Outreach Center. These 

three entities serve to educate future health 

care professionals, meet workforce and 

community needs, and apply innovative 

technologies in health care delivery. The 

research center’s focus—on infectious disease 

and immunology, cancer, cancer vaccines and 

blood disorders, cardiovascular disease, 

health systems engineering, biotechnology, 

bioengineering, imaging science, computing 

and information science, deaf technologies, 

and medical devices—means students can 

complete internships, co-ops, and research 

opportunities in a health care setting where 

they will gain valuable hands-on experience. 

The outreach center will partner with regional 

workforce development agencies to develop 

and support community health initiatives. 

Dynamic programs 

All of the college’s majors build on a 

foundation of liberal arts and basic sciences, 

producing students who are well rounded 

and ready to take on the challenges of the 

health care industry. Transfer admission is 

selective as places are limited, especially in the 

physician assistant program. 

The biomedical sciences major is designed 

to prepare students for careers in health care 

or biomedical research or for admission to 

medical, dental, or other graduate programs. 

A diverse curriculum and applied research 

opportunities prepare students for the 

demands of graduate study. Courses and 

concentration options within biomedical 

sciences are designed to attract students 

interested in the broad spectrum of 

medically related jobs and to provide a 

knowledge base and the technical skills 

required to pursue their chosen careers. 

The diagnostic medical sonography 

(ultrasound) major has graduated leaders 

in the field since its inception. The curriculum 

combines a strong science education, practical 

experience, and liberal arts education to 

prepare you for a career in ultrasound. The 

program emphasizes skills in administration 

and research in addition to development of 

scanning and diagnostic abilities, with a 

focus on relevancy to clinical practice. 

Registered dietitians learn to understand 

people as individuals, thereby helping their 

clients solve their nutritional needs. The 

nutrition management major offers a 

challenging curriculum that prepares students 

to become registered dietitians and practice 

in diverse settings such as private practice; 

community nutrition and public health; 

wellness; sports fitness programs; corporations; 

clinical dietetics, hospital or long-term-care 

food management facilities; research; food 

companies; nutrition education; and 

restaurant consulting. 

The physician assistant major is a five-year 

combined BS/MS program. The first two years 

are considered the “pre-professional” phase; the 

remaining three years are the “professional” 

phase and include 12 months of clinical rotation 

(internship) in the final year. Rotations expose 

students to distinct areas of medical practice 

such as family medicine, pediatrics, surgery, 

obstetrics, emergency medicine, geriatrics, 

psychiatry, and more. Admission for transfer 

students is highly competitive. Candidates for 

transfer admission to the physician assistant 

program should have an outstanding academic 

record and evidence of clinical experience.

Because we offer more production experience 

than any other school in the country, the 

School of Film and Animation draws students 

from all over the world. We recognize the 

increasing interrelationships among film technology, 

video, animation, and the computer, 

so you gain hands-on experience in all areas 

while specializing in your medium of choice. 

In addition to a bachelor of science degree in 

motion picture science, the School of Film 

and Animation offers a bachelor of fine arts 

degree in film and animation, with options in 

animation and production. 

You’ll begin shooting 16mm film during 

your first month on campus. Over the 

next four years, you’ll write scripts, recruit 

actors and crew, shoot on location, record 

soundtracks, edit every scene until it’s perfect, 

live through a critique—and then wait for 

the applause! By the end of your senior year, 

you will direct, shoot, write, edit, and produce 

your own senior thesis project. Graduates 

are fully qualified to enter careers in the 

industry and to create their own independent 

productions. The major is enhanced by 

a visiting filmmakers series and an active 

student association. 


Career opportunities abound in graphic 

communication, new media, printing, and 

publishing. RIT’s School of Media Sciences is 

the best-known school of its kind in the world, 

preparing people to manage the nation’s huge 

graphic communications industry. With our 

media arts and technology major you can 

be at the forefront of a new media revolution, 

where electronic technology merges printing 

and publishing, graphic design, art, and photography. 

In our high-tech laboratories, you’ll 

learn the latest technologies for electronic 

publishing, new media publishing, and digital 

printing systems. Business courses will teach 

you the managerial skills you need to lead one 

of the country’s fastest growing industries, 

and you’ll gain important experience through 

cooperative education. 

You’ll benefit from an academic environment 

featuring a 20,000-volume library of rare 

historical editions, more than $50 million 

worth of printing and publishing equipment 

in 14 laboratories, and close interaction 

with outstanding faculty members who are 

committed to teaching and applied research. 


and Sciences 

With award-winning alumni; more than 30 

full-time faculty devoted to photography; six 

majors to choose from; and top-notch studios, 

darkroom facilities, and equipment, RIT’s 

School of Photographic Arts and Sciences is an 

internationally acknowledged leader in professional 

photographic education. 

Our majors—advertising photography, 

fine art photography, photojournalism, and 

visual media—are special because students 

master both the creative and the technical 

fundamentals of photography, then explore 

their individual interests in a specialized 

area. Our unique option in biomedical 

photographic communications is ideal 

for students who enjoy both photography 

and science. The option in imaging and 

photographic technology may lead to 

joining our graduates analyzing images from 

space at NASA. Or maybe you will join the 11 

graduates who have won Pulitzer Prizes in 

photojournalism. 

Significantly larger than most photo 

schools, RIT offers more—and more varied— 

photography courses and has more faculty 

members with a wider range of interests than 

most similar schools. More than 200 courses 

cover everything from nature photography to 

digital photography, advertising concepts to 

high-speed/time-lapse photography. 

Guest lectures and touring exhibits by 

famous photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, 

Harry Callahan, and Joyce Tenneson are added 

benefits. And, with such resources as the 

George Eastman House International Museum 

of Photography and Eastman Kodak Co., 

Rochester is, in a sense, where photography 

developed. Being here immerses you in 

that world. 

RIT’s School of Photographic Arts and 

Sciences has thousands of alumni—leaders 

in their disciplines—who become a network 

of contacts when you graduate. In the 

competitive world of photography, a degree 

from RIT can give you the edge you need.

LIBERAL ARTS 

Putting progress in perspective. At RIT, you’ll have a unique opportunity to study traditional 

liberal arts subjects within the framework of a technological university. 

The College of Liberal Arts offers 12 careeroriented 

bachelor’s degree programs and 

more than 30 liberal arts minors, and it plays 

a central role in the general education of 

every undergraduate at RIT. In addition to 

its 12 majors, many students add breadth 

or depth to their program in one of the many 

minors available. 

A community of learners 

RIT’s College of Liberal Arts offer the advantages 

of a small college and the benefits of a 

major university. You’ll have the chance to participate 

in seminar-style classes, independent 

study, and faculty-guided research projects. 

You’ll find professors who are respected in 

their fields but not too busy to get to know 

you personally. 

Twelve majors to choose from 

In a multicultural society that must deal with 

rapid change, RIT’s liberal arts curriculum and 

college majors lay a firm foundation for your 

life and your career. 

An integrated approach to the study of 

communication and media distinguishes our 

advertising and public relations major 

from others. By combining liberal arts, 

advertising, public relations, marketing, and 

business courses with cooperative education 

experience and a focus on new media 

technologies, our program delivers a lot, 

including career success. You will gain an 

understanding of various media and acquire 

the technological skills your career will 

demand. 

The communication major allows you to 

take advantage of current developments in 

the rapidly changing field of communication. 

You’ll study the theory and practice of spoken, 

written, and visual communication, then 

add courses in business, public relations, 

photography, graphic design, or other areas. 

If you have specialized career interests, you’ll 

have the option to create your own 

professional core courses. Six months of 

cooperative education will give you the 

opportunity to apply knowledge acquired 

in class to real-world situations. 

The criminal justice major combines 

theory with practical experience and leads 

to a number of exciting career possibilities. 

Concentrations in criminology, law 

enforcement, corrections, computer crime, 

and security are available, but you can design 

your own concentration if something else 

inspires you. This program also provides 

excellent preparation for graduate or 

law school, including student internship 

placements. 

Our economics major places great 

importance on the development of your 

communication, analytical, computer, and 

management skills. Co-op work experience is 

optional in this program, but it is a great way 

to expand your career options in business, 

finance, economic research, public policy, and 

law. Economics graduates may complete RIT’s 

master of business administration or master of 

science in public policy with only one year of 

additional study. 

The broad-based international and global 

studies curriculum includes three years of 

foreign language study. You’ll be able to focus 

your studies on international business, science 

and technology issues, or on a particular 

region. Graduates are prepared for policy 

analysis and international affairs positions in 

government and the private sector. 

International studies also offers accelerated 

4+1 programs that allow completion of an RIT 

master’s degree in public policy or business 

administration. 

The journalism major prepares students for 

the changing newsroom, where traditional 

reporting merges with media technologies to 

create the innovative delivery of information. 

Museum studies is an innovative, 

interdisciplinary, technically based major that 

prepares students for careers in museums, 

archives, photo collections, and libraries. The 

major’s core courses familiarize students with 

the history, theory, and practice of institutional 

collecting, conservation, and the technical 

investigation of art. Students choose one of 

two specialized professional tracks: museum 

studies or art conservation. Before graduation, 

students will be required to complete 200 

hours of internship in cultural institutions. 

The philosophy major gives you a 

thorough understanding of philosophy as 

you combine the curriculum to create a 

double major with any one of RIT’s other 

programs. This combination enriches your 

understanding and insight while fostering 

innovation and creativity. 

Our new political science major explores 

the traditional political science discipline 

while providing students with the skills they 

need to succeed in the world’s changing 

political conditions and circumstances. 

Three tracks—globalization and the new 

government curriculum, politics and the 

life sciences, and digital politics and the 

information age—are designed to explore 

in detail emerging political situations in 

which our nation, and world, finds itself. 

Our psychology major applies a science 

and technology focus to the traditional 

psychology curriculum. Degree options in 

biopsychology, clinical psychology, visual 

perception, and information processing 

sharpen your focus, and a cooperative 

education or internship requirement provides 

real-world experience. You’ll be well prepared 

for graduate study or employment. 

Our public policy major offers several 

unique features, including an accelerated 

five-year BS/MS option and a choice of 

specializations. This program’s interdisciplinary 

education includes economics, history, 

political science, philosophy, and sociology. 

Explore a range of public policy issues in 

courses drawn from other programs at RIT. 

This is perhaps the only public policy major in 

the nation that requires a cooperative 

education component, providing preparation 

for both graduate study and careers.

The sociology and anthropology major 

capitalizes on RIT’s strength as a career-oriented 

university with a technological edge. An 

interdisciplinary core curriculum encompasses 

science, computing, and the liberal arts, while 

individual tracks focused on archaeology, 

cultural anthropology, sociology, and urban 

studies let you choose an area of specialization. 

Experience using the same statistical and 

analytical technology employed in the field 

today will serve you well as you venture into 

the workplace during the required co-op/ 

internship. The 4+1 program leads to a master’s 

degree in public policy only one year after 

earning your BS degree.

program. While you are a student, co-op gives 

you hands-on practical experience working for 

a company in your field. The combination of 

fieldwork plus classroom training gives you a 

real advantage in the job marketplace. 

Your employment success is supported 

by employment specialists at the NTID Center 

on Employment, who travel coast to coast 

to connect with employers to create job 

opportunities. These employment specialists 

network with employers to build relationships 

and educate the marketplace about the value 

of hiring deaf and hard-of-hearing students 

and graduates.

SCIENCE 

www.rit.edu/cos 

Formula for success. Start with a challenging curriculum, add a laboratory-intensive environment and a talented, 

dedicated, accessible faculty, and you will multiply your career and graduate study opportunities exponentially. 

That’s the College of Science’s proven equation for a superior undergraduate education. With 11 undergraduate 

majors available college-wide through our two schools, two departments, and three distinctive centers, RIT’s 

College of Science continually is a destination for motivated talented transfer students. 

In addition to the traditional sciences, mathematics 

and statistics, and life sciences, our 

College of Science offers majors in biotechnology, 

bioinformatics, imaging science, and 

several other fields. All emphasize applying 

theory to the solution of practical, sometimes 

larger-than-life problems; thus, all majors are 

career-oriented and laboratory-intensive. 

Students considering medical, dental, or 

veterinary schools will find the College of 

Science programs and advising offer excellent 

preparation, support, and an outstanding 

track record of successful placement. 

Resources 

Because RIT has always been committed to 

undergraduate education and research, we 

don’t reserve the best and newest equipment 

for graduate students and professors. As an 

undergraduate, you’ll have access to it all. 

The latest addition to the College of Science 

facilities is the 35,000-square-foot Center 

for Bioscience Education and Technology 

(CBET). The heart of the building is a suite of 

laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art 

technology. This facility houses both CBET 

training and workshop activities as well as 

portions of the college’s bioscience majors. 

You’ll also have access to the Center for 

Excellence in Mathematics, Science, and 

Technology, a premier national science 

education and research facility. The center 

features media-supported classrooms and 

laboratories filled with the most up-to-date 

equipment and technology available. 

Special options 

Like many of our students, you may be 

interested in premedical studies. Once 

accepted into a degree program, you can 

begin working with a team of premedical 

advisers to select the courses and activities 

that prepare you for medical, dental, 

veterinary, or optometry school. One of 

the major benefits of this program is the 

clinical medicine co-op. Through a formal 

agreement with Rochester’s Unity Hospital, 

premedical students are trained to provide 

direct patient care. Students tell us this is 

one of their most rewarding opportunities, 

and their experience is welcomed by 

medical schools. 

Each year, a limited number of summer 

research awards are available to qualified 

College of Science undergraduate students. 

Interested students submit a research 

proposal along with a faculty letter of 

support. Monetary grants are awarded to 

winning proposals and students spend 

10 weeks in the summer at RIT and 

present their findings during the college’s 

Undergraduate Research Symposium. 

College of Science students interested 

in pursuing careers in education can take 

advantage of an articulation agreement 

between RIT and Nazareth College. Under 

the agreement, qualified students may pursue 

up to nine credits of graduate education at 

Nazareth in their final undergraduate year 

at RIT. 

Hands-on experience 

You don’t have to wait until graduation to gain 

professional experience. If you are enrolled in 

the mathematics, statistics, physical sciences, 

or imaging science majors, you may choose 

the cooperative education plan, which adds 

several months of paid work experience. 

Center for Imaging Science 

How do satellites beam images back to Earth? 

Could light replace electricity as an energy 

source? How can we enhance images of the 

brain taken by CAT scans? Students in RIT’s 

“The summer research 

program was the single 

most important thing 

that started my research,” 

says Joshua Thomson, a biochemistry 

major and one of RIT’s Goldwater 

Scholars. Thomson conducted 

research into antibiotic targets 

with Suzanne O’Handley, associate 

professor of chemistry. “It wasn’t 

until I started to do research that I 

realized that this was what I wanted 

to do. Being able to see how science 

is applied in the lab has also helped 

me with my course work.” 

Carlson Center for Imaging Science, a unique 

teaching and research facility, explore and 

answer questions like these. You’ll learn about 

imaging systems ranging from human vision 

to virtual reality. You’ll discover how imaging 

technology probes the depths of the ocean, 

the surface of the Earth, and the vastness of 

outer space. 

As an imaging science student, you’ll also 

study physics, chemistry, and mathematics, 

and apply your knowledge to image creation, 

manipulation, storage, and transmission. You’ll 

have significant opportunities to work with 

faculty on research projects, and your lab 

experiments will be conducted with state-ofthe-art 

equipment. 

Imaging science is a dynamic field that 

provides outstanding career opportunities, and 

if you decide to continue your studies, RIT offers 

a master’s degree and the nation’s only doctoral 

program in imaging science.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY 

STUDIES 

Some transfer students feel that choosing a major from a single academic discipline is limiting 

and does not reflect their range of talents and interests. Others want to pursue their education 

at their own pace. In CMS, you have the ability to create an academic program that fits not only 

your academic and career goals, but your life as well. 

The Center for Multidisciplinary Studies is about 

you: your ideas, your interests, your goals. You 

and an adviser work closely together to design 

a degree that best meets your ideas, interests, 

and goals through careful consideration of all 

courses RIT has to offer. The Center is committed 

to helping students be innovative and have 

a voice in their degree curriculum. 

The Center for Multidisciplinary Studies (CMS) 

offers students interested in more than one 

area of study the option of creating personalized 

undergraduate programs directly related 

to their interests and aspirations. Today’s business 

world values and looks for individuals with 

diverse academic backgrounds. CMS offers 

students this valuable opportunity through its 

applied arts and science degree programs 

and specialized certificate programs. This 

program focuses on providing the student a 

multidisciplinary approach to learning that can 

be applied to the professional environment. 

The diverse nature of the applied arts and science 

program is an asset to any corporation. 

Like the Center itself, CMS students are 

anything but typical. Some are adults with 

families and careers, attending classes online or 

at night, while others are full-time undergraduate 

students with nontraditional ideas about 

what they want from their college degree. 

Through the Center’s flexible multidisciplinary 

programs, students follow plans of study 

tailored to their individual interests that 

incorporate courses or sets of courses from 

the Center or other RIT departments. 

Applied arts and science degree 

The Center for Multidisciplinary Studies offers 

a bachelor of science degree in applied arts 

and science that is fully customizable to meet 

the needs of online and on-campus students, 

or through a combination of both. 

The degree requires completion of at 

least 120 semester credit hours, comprised 

of credit hours in general education and in 

two to four areas of professional concentrations. 

Each concentration is customized by 

the student and his or her academic adviser. 

A professional concentration can be designed 

from most programs on campus. (BFA program 

courses cannot make up a full professional 

concentration.) 

Transfer credit opportunities 

Transfer credit will be considered for relevant 

course work where a grade of C or better was 

earned at a regionally accredited college or 

uni versity. Official transcripts must be submitted 

and will be reviewed on a course-bycourse 

basis. 

The Center for Multidisciplinary Studies also 

encourages students to maximize the use of 

alternative forms of credit to complete their 

degree. Alternative forms of credit include: 

Military Credit 

Visit the military section of our website to learn 

more about how your work in the armed forces 

could be transferred into an applied arts and 

science degree. CMS accepts credits from the 

Community College of the Air Force, Navy 

Smart Transcripts, and MOS professional fields. 

CLEP/Dante/Ponsi Exams 

CLEP, Dante, and Ponsi exams allow students 

to independently earn college credits toward 

their degree. CLEP consists of a set of nationwide 

examinations in both general education 

and specialized areas offered through the 

College Board. You and a CMS adviser will 

design a draft plan of study, then discuss 

how you can utilize these exams in your 

degree. For more information, visit 

www.collegeboard.com/highered/clep.

Graduate 85 

ACE (American Council on Education) 

Non-collegiate organizations (professional 

associations, private industry, government 

agencies, etc.) may choose to submit their 

training programs for review by ACE. After a 

thorough evaluation process, programs recommended 

for college credit are listed in the ACE 

publication, National Guide to Educational Credit 

for Training. If your training has been reviewed 

by ACE, your adviser will review the Guide 

recommendations regarding courses that are 

applicable to your academic program. 

Professional Work Experience 

Students with substantial work experience in 

a specific field may receive academic credit for 

their life experience. Your adviser can assist you 

in identifying and preparing the appropriate 

documentation to prove that your experience 

is at least equivalent to the breadth and depth 

of a college-level course. Materials presented in 

credit-by-experience portfolios are reviewed by 

faculty members within and outside of CMS. 


This program offers students the opportunity to create 

individualized undergraduate programs of technical 

and professional study through its applied arts and 

science program. 

The applied arts and science program is particularly 

appropriate for individuals who have prior college-level 

learning, are interested in changing majors, have unique 

ideas about how they want to design their academic areas 

of study, or want to prepare themselves for a career that 

requires skills and expertise from several disciplines.

THE TRANSFER ADVANTAGE 

ADMISSION 

AND FINANCIAL AID 

Each year, about 1,000 students transfer to RIT. 

They come from all around the country and the world. 

They come from two-year institutions and four-year 

institutions, from public and private institutions. Some 

enter as first-year students or as second- or third-year 

students. Most enter in the fall, but some will enroll at 

other times. Some will transfer directly from another institution, 

while others may have been out of school for 

several years. Some are returning to college after some 

time in the workforce or armed forces. Their racial, ethnic, 

geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds are 

almost as diverse as their academic interests. 

What they all have in common is that they are some of 

the most talented and motivated students at RIT. They 

have taken advantage of all the benefits of being a 

part of one of the world’s leading technological universities, 

and have established themselves as scholars and 

leaders on campus, preparing themselves to be leaders 

in their fields. We invite you to consider transferring 

to RIT and becoming part of our dynamic, innovative 

university.

APPLYING FOR TRANSFER 

ADMISSION 

admissions.rit.edu 

Each year, entering transfer students bring a broad range of academic, career, and personal 

interests to our campus. We believe that transfer students add to the richness of the campus 

because of their unique perspectives and prior college experiences. 

Transfer admission to RIT is competitive, but 

our admission process is a personal one. We 

are successful in enrolling transfer students 

because we understand your unique needs. 

RIT provides special programs and personnel 

to assist you during the admission process. 

Our goal is to make your transition to RIT as 

smooth as possible. 

Transfer admission overview 

Transfer students may apply for admission for 

either the fall or spring semester. Applications 

for transfer admission are reviewed on a 

“rolling admission” basis. Notification letters 

are generally mailed four to six weeks after an 

admission application is complete. 

NOTE: For best consideration for 

admission and scholarships, and because 

many programs fill to capacity, we strongly 

recommend that applicants file their 

materials on or before March 15 for fall or 

summer admission and November 15 for 

spring admission. 

Transfer admission procedures 

1. Apply for admission one of three ways: 

a. Online at www.rit.edu/admissions; 

b. Submit a Transfer Common Application at 

www.commonapp.org; or 

c. Request a paper application by contacting 

the Undergraduate Admissions Office. 

2. Submit the application and the $60 

nonrefundable application fee, along with: 

a. Official transcripts of all college 

courses completed; 

b. A list of courses currently in progress 

and any other courses you expect to 

complete prior to enrolling at RIT; 

c. A high school transcript if you will have 

completed less than the equivalent of one 

year of college (30 semester hours or 45 

quarter hours) prior to enrolling at RIT; 

d. A portfolio if you are applying for 

admission to a program in the School 

of Art or School of Design. 

Choice of major 

RIT admits transfer students directly to a 

specific academic major. Given the variety 

of academic majors at RIT, admissions 

requirements may differ from one major 

to another. 

If you would like, you may select a secondand 

third-choice major when applying for 

admission. If we are unable to offer you 

admission to your first-choice major, you 

may qualify for admission to one of your 

alternate choices. 

Transfer credit evaluation 

The amount of transfer credit a student will 

receive is determined through an evaluation 

of individual courses completed with a grade 

of C or better. The year level within your 

academic program will be determined by 

the number and distribution of transfer 

credits awarded. Junior standing is generally 

awarded to students who will have earned 

an associate degree and met RIT’s expected 

academic performance standard. 

International students 

We welcome transfer applications from 

international students and invite them to 

join the more than 2,000 international 

students currently enrolled at our Rochester 

campus. In addition to the standard 

application procedures and requirements, 

students whose native language is not 

English should submit results from the 

TOEFL or IELTS exam unless they will have 

completed the equivalent of 30 or more 

semester credits in English-based instruction 

prior to enrolling at RIT. 

All transfer applications, including 

international applications, are reviewed on 

a rolling admission basis. We encourage 

international students to complete the 

application process by the priority deadline 

to receive the best consideration for admission 

and scholarships. Applications received after 

the priority deadline will be considered on a 

space-available basis. 

International students seeking freshman 

or transfer admission must also demonstrate 

that they have the financial resources to meet 

the cost of attendance. Students with strong 

academic performance may be considered 

for partial scholarships from RIT. Students 

who are awarded partial merit- or needbased 

scholarships may use scholarships 

awarded as part of the documentation of 

financial support. 

NYS Opportunity Programs 

(EOP/HEOP) 

RIT and New York state co-sponsor the 

Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP). 

Transfer students currently in the Educa- 

36

tional Opportunity Program (EOP) or HEOP are 

eligible to apply for the HEOP program at RIT. 

This program is open only to New York state 

residents with academic deficiencies related to 

financial or educational disadvantages. HEOP 

students are provided with a variety of support 

services, including financial assistance, counseling, 

and tutoring. Please note that available 

spaces for HEOP transfer students are extremely 

limited. For more information, please contact 

our HEOP Office at 585-475-2221, or go to 

www.rit.edu/studentaffairs/heop. 

Veterans benefit educational 

programs and Yellow Ribbon

FINANCIAL AID AND 

www.rit.edu/financialaid 

SCHOLARSHIPS 

Take the first step. You’ve decided that you’re looking for the quality, reputation, and responsiveness 

of a private college or university. How can your family afford this investment in your future? 

RIT has a long history of providing educational 

opportunities to qualified transfer students 

regardless of their families’ economic 

circumstances. We offer a comprehensive 

financial aid program consisting of merit 

scholarships and a full range of need-based 

grants, loans, and campus employment 

programs. More than 75 percent of full-time 

undergraduate students at RIT received 

more than $277 million in financial aid this 

year. Many students and families also take 

advantage of our monthly payment plan, 

tuition prepayment plan, and opportunities 

for students to earn salaries through 

cooperative education. 

Who receives financial aid 

and scholarships? 

Financial aid and scholarships are awarded 

on the basis of demonstrated financial need 

and academic merit. Transfer students from 

all income ranges are offered financial aid and 

scholarships each year and, as a result, find 

an RIT education affordable. Families who are 

least able to meet educational expenses generally 

qualify for the most assistance through 

scholarships, grants, work-study programs, 

and low-interest student loans. The chart on 

page 39 provides a comprehensive overview 

of available financial aid. 

Cooperative education— 

The financial benefits 

RIT’s cooperative education (or co-op) program 

offers more than 3,500 students practical 

employment experience in conjunction with 

classroom learning each year. Co-op typically 

begins after completion of the second year 

and requires that the student spend two or 

more co-op work periods employed in a fulltime, 

paid position related to their academic 

interests. More than 2,000 co-op employers 

across the United States and overseas participate 

in RIT’s cooperative education program. 

In addition to work experience, there are significant 

financial advantages to participating 

in co-op. Last year, co-op students generated 

more than $36 million through employment. 

Average co-op salaries for specific academic 

programs may be obtained from the Office 

of Cooperative Education and Career Services 

website at www.rit.edu/oce. 

A portion of these cooperative education 

earnings can be used to offset tuition 

expenses charged when the student returns 

to the classroom. Since tuition and fees are not 

charged while students are employed in co-op 

and not attending classes, the tuition costs 

associated with four years of education can 

also be spread over a more extended period 

of time. This often makes an RIT education 

more affordable. 

Payment options 

Student Financial Services offers a number of 

payment options that will allow you to schedule 

your payments each semester. Information 

regarding these options can be found at 

www.rit.edu/sfs. 

New York state TAP grants 

The New York State Tuition Assistance Program 

(TAP) available to many New York state 

resident students is among the most generous 

college grant programs in the nation. 

Since one of the goals of TAP is to help 

bring the cost of attending one of the state’s 

independent colleges closer to the costs of 

attending a state-supported college, students 

attending independent colleges usually receive 

larger grants from TAP than students attending 

SUNY or CUNY schools. New York state 

resident students who will be attending RIT 

full time should apply for TAP by completing 

the online TAP application, after completing 

the FAFSA. There is a link to the TAP application 

from the online FAFSA. 

The Office of Financial Aid 

and Scholarships 

Our office is open Monday through Friday 

from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Tuesday and 

Wednesday evenings until 5 p.m., when 

classes are in session. Counselors meet with 

students and parents on a walk-in and 

appointment basis. 

If you have questions regarding financial aid 

or scholarships, you are encouraged to call 

585-475-2186 (voice) or 585-475-6909 (TTY) 

to speak with a counselor or to request an 

appointment. Our office also can be reached 

through e-mail at finaid@rit.edu. Our fax 

number is 585-475-7270. 

Visit www.rit.edu/financialaid to obtain more 

information about financial aid. Our website

OFF CAMPUS: 

ROCHESTER, NY 

Discover. Explore. Relax. High-tech industry, history and culture, entertainment, recreation— 

you’ll find all of these and more in Rochester. Students from 11 colleges and universities, four of 

which are within five miles of RIT, add spirit and style to the area. 

The RIT campus is about six miles from downtown 

Rochester—just minutes away if you want 

to explore and enjoy the city’s entertainment, 

cultural, and employment opportunities. 

If you’re seeking a dynamic environment, 

Rochester offers a perfect setting—it’s large 

enough to provide the dining and night life 

opportunities you might expect in a bigger city, 

yet small and friendly enough to be inviting 

and accessible. In fact, Rochester was rated 

sixth overall in the “best places to live” 

category by Places Rated Almanac. 

High-tech, communications, optics, research, 

and manufacturing companies, including many 

Fortune 500 companies, choose Rochester 

as their base of operations. The city has more 

than 4,000 exporting companies. Xerox Corp., 

Bausch & Lomb, Inc., Paychex Inc., Frontier 

Corp., Eastman Kodak Co., and other national 

and international firms make Rochester a great 

place to learn about the world of business. In 

addition, these firms and other Rochester companies 

offer excellent co-op and permanent 

George Eastman House 

employment opportunities. 

The Genesee River—one of the few 

north-flowing rivers in the world—cuts 

through the center of the city, where it tumbles 

96 feet straight down at High Falls before 

continuing on to Lake Ontario, easternmost 

of North America’s Great Lakes. The greater 

Rochester area is home to more than one 

million people, making it the third-largest 

metropolitan area in New York state. 

Plenty to do 

Entertainment comes in many forms in 

Rochester. From a performance by the Rochester 

Philharmonic Orchestra in the fabulous 

Eastman Theatre to a poetry reading at Java’s 

Café to a soccer match at Sahlen’s Stadium, 

there’s sure to be something to suit you. 

Highlights for many students include visits 

to Seneca Park Zoo, Geva Theatre, Seabreeze 

Amusement Park, The Strong National Museum 

of Play, Memorial Art Gallery, Strasenburgh 

Planetarium, Rochester Museum & Science 

Center, and the George Eastman House International 

Museum of Photography and Film. 

You’ll find an exciting selection of art galleries, 

cinemas, theaters, comedy clubs, restaurants, 

concert halls, and nightclubs featuring live 

music and dancing. 

With eight professional sports teams, 

Rochester has been rated the best minorleague 

sports market. The Rochester Americans 

(ice hockey), Red Wings (baseball), Knighthawks 

and Rattlers (indoor and outdoor lacrosse, 

respectively), Rhinos (soccer), RazorSharks 

(basketball), Rochester Raiders (indoor football), 

and Empire State Roar (Western New York’s 

only women’s professional football) are cheered 

on by their enthusiastic hometown fans. 

Throughout Rochester you’ll find tree-lined 

streets; historic architecture; summer festivals; 

and plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment 

options to fit a student budget. 

You also can experience some of the flavor 

of Rochester in the nearby villages and 

towns, many of which are located on the 

historic Erie Canal. Nature lovers will find parks, 

beaches, mountains, gorges, lakes, and streams 

that provide year-round outdoor recreation and 

sightseeing. And let’s not forget golf courses: 

Rochester is one of the Top 40 Best Golf Towns 

in America, according to Golf Magazine. 

You’re within six hours by car of New York 

City, Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, 

Cleveland, and Montreal, and much closer 

than that to Niagara Falls and Toronto.
